Three-Step Salad
This is a real find... Not the salad as such, but the easy and obvious - why didn't I think of that? - idea of making and adding the nuts. I used up some slightly stale cashews which I was about to bin. Easy and delicious. I made the salad - mine had chopped, fresh mango, finely sliced salami (which balanced the sweetness of the nuts beautifully) and crumbled goat's cheese, as well as the usual suspects you find in a salad. Dressing on at the last minute and caramelised nuts sprinkled over. I'll be doing this again and again. And tomorrow I'm making more of those wonderful nuts but with a few variations such as coarse salt or chili flakes of anything else that comes out of my store cupboard. The possiblities are endless! Thank you for such an inspired idea.

Hurricane I
Being a Brit I had only heard of this lethal weapon in that song. Then I encountered it last summer whilst on a cruise. I spent the rest of the day asleep. It is wonderful, but should carry a government health warning. This recipe is pretty much identical to the one I experienced.... Thank you for sharing.

Sky High Yorkshire Pudding
Amazing! I've never had success with Yorkies before. Mine are usually stodgy and dull. These were crisp and beautifully risen. I did add salt to enhance the taste. Thanks for teaching an old dog a new trick.
